David Trimble: The Price of Peace [Hardcover]

Frank Millar (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 27, 2005 | ISBN-10: 1904148646 | ISBN-13: 978-1904148647

In this compelling and engaging new book, award winning journalist Frank Millar delivers David Trimble as we have never known or heard him before. Revelatory and self-critical, Trimble's honesty and candor in his discussions with Millar are remarkable for a politician still in office. Millar's knowledgeable and challenging questions result in a riveting conversation in which the Nobel Peace Prize winner explains how and why he gambled everything to help London and Dublin politicize the provisional republican movement and reward his Sinn Féin enemies with a place in government.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"'Brilliant, myth-shattering analysis... sets the scene for the new era post-Trimble and post-Paisley.' Lord (Paul) Bew, Queen's University. 'Recent events surely demand that Trimble's record be reappraised. Did Paisley fall because, like Trimble, he was perceived as having made too many concessions to Sinn Fein? Or if, in spite of the concessions, Paisley is to be lauded as an historic peacemaker does Trimble too not deserve the same praise? This book suggests the answers to these intriguing questions.' - Peter Smith QC, Patten Commission." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
